I'm the one on military sponsorship! #facct2026

This part of the keynote is starting to pre-empt one of the excellent papers in the Global Conflicts session I'm chairing later today! (Doing separate thread on that.) On how Israel's Lavender and other AI-based targeting systems in Gaza violate intl humanitarian law. #FAccT2026

Professor Suchman singles out military uses of AI for particular attention, & does what I was regretting letting the window slip to do in our plenary panel on Canadian AI policy: reminding everyone that a foremost use of AI today is in Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. #FAccT2026

Back from a sunny picnic lunch at the excellent Anti-War, Anti-Carceral, Anti-Fascist Social, in time for Lucy Suchman's keynote! #FAccT2026 Titled "Open Worlds and the Limits of Datafication", in which she sets out to "challenge the idea that AI is the driving technology of our time".

Lucy Suchman’s keynote at @facct.bsky.social is a revelation. She’s citing media studies scholars like Orit Halpern and Lisa Gitelman while laying out in exacting terms how AI systems are used to perpetuate and legitimize genocide

Today in about two hours! #facct2026

Suchman's excellent keynote zooms in into modern warfare & the role of AI in the Gaza genocide #FAccT2026 "The most consequential decision are made by systems that cannot explain themselves, supplied by companies that answer to no-one, in conflicts that generate no accountability and no reckoning"

"The us military budget exceeds the next 9 countries combined" Lucy Suchman #FAccT2026

Lucy Suchman's keynote at @facct.bsky.social today is so important to understand how today's AI fuels genocide and war.

Join us for lunch in about half an hour!

In Montreal for FAccT today? Come to The Anti War, Anti Carceral, Anti Fascist Social. 12:15 PM at MONO on Sainte-Catherine.

he askes the facct community to question intentions and motives behind technology not just measure and document performance of the algorithm

Tomorrow (Sat, June 26) I'll be presenting "The Weaponization of Computer Vision" at @facct.bsky.social A work that emerged from the pain of seeing computer vision used for harm and with the hope that we can do better. 📌 17:00-18:00, Ballroom East, Global Conflicts dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

I'll be presenting our paper Context Matters at the "Gender Bias in Generative AI" session at #facct2026, chaired by the amazing @angelinawang.bsky.social. Today, Joyce room, from 10:45 (in 45 min!). arxiv.org/abs/2605.13113

📢 Submission Deadline Extended - [email protected] 🗓 New submission deadline: July 3, 2026 We welcome contributions on instance-level recognition, retrieval, generation, matching, personalization, and related topics. 📅 September 8, 2026 📍 Malmö, Sweden 🌐 ilr-workshop.github.io/ECCVW2026/

Bad news for those trying to do work both in ML/CV and facct. A deadline between iclr and cvpr will make it very difficult to contribute to both communities.

i'll be at facct in montreal next week too!

Grok was used in operation Epic Fury to enable the deployment of over 2,000 munitions to 2,000 separate targets. This was revealed as national defense justification for the use of unpermitted gas turbines in SpaceX's Tennessee data center thehill.com/policy/techn...

Being featured in the CVPR Daily magazine at @cvprconference.bsky.social was exciting and a little scary. It turned into an honest conversation about my path from Barcelona to Osaka, career choices, and why I can't separate my research from my principles.

I just don’t see how a text that doesn’t exist could have contributed to your research process? What else is a citation marking? Genuinely lack of imagination on my part, would be curious to hear examples not just of an unread paper but a nonexistent paper being useful enough to cite

I wrote about this with @davidthewid.bsky.social, in a paper where we looked at DoD funding proposals - a lot of the tech that isn't necessarily aimed at being dual use is also funded by *very* dual use type grants. It's hard to escape in the U.S.!

This may be a good time to advertise our recent FAccT 2026 paper on the weaponization of computer vision for military and surveillance applications by tracing conference sponsors arxiv.org/abs/2604.07803

Seeing computer vision applied in such terrible ways is heartbreaking. I love the science, but we need to seriously reconsider the harm that is being done.
